Tail probabilities of the maxima of multilinear forms and their applications
多线性形式最大值的尾概率及其应用
Let Z be a kway array consisting of independent standard normal variables. For column vectors h1, …, hk, define a multilinear form of degree k by $(h_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes h_k)' \vec(Z)$. We derive formulas for upper tail probabilities of the maximum of a multilinear form with respect to the hi’s under the condition that the hi’s are unit vectors, and of its standardized statistic obtained by dividing by the norm of Z. We also give formulas for the maximum of a symmetric…
